Matty James has had to undergo more surgery as he battles to return from an Achilles injury.

The Leicester City midfielder underwent surgery at the end of last season to correct an Achilles problem and was due back into training at the start of this season, but he has suffered complications following the operation and manager Claude Puel said James has had to have another procedure, although it is not his Achilles.

“Matty James has had a little surgery on Wednesday to correct something but it is okay with his tendon,” said Puel.
